This is what happens when Angela needs help selecting a wine and the wine guy has gone out for a cup of coffee. We had a mismatched dinner beverage. While the pale, almost straw coloured, wine was fresh and citrusy it didn’t hold up well against our Asparagus Marinara. Two Oceans would have been great pre-dinner with a platter of veggies or something else lighter tasting.
Once dinner was finished and the wine was no longer competing (and losing) with the tomato sauce, the flavours came through. The lemon and grapefruit notes were quite bold in this light bodied wine, and it had a zingy finish.
While we felt the wine didn’t quite fit with our meal, we both noticed how appropriate it might be in a wine spritzer. (due to make a comeback any year now…)
